Prudence wins as govt Subhani stays out of RCEP he debate between free trade and protection for the domestic econo- my is not a new one. Its shadow loomed over India as it declined at the last minute to become a party to the Regional Comprehensive TEconomic Partnership agreement, which 15 other leading nations subscribed to on Monday. India participated in the negotiation, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was at the regional summit in Bangkok where the RCEP was deliberated, pulled out at the last minute, arguing that India’s concerns had not been met. Signatures are to be affixed to the agreement in 2020 and many among the participants, notably Australia, expressed the hope that when India comes on board, the RCEP will be a richer partnership. There is a lurking fear among many of the “10 plus 6” — the 10 Asean coun- tries and six of their partners — that China will seek to dominate RCEP. With the burgeoning trade dispute between the United States and China, there is concern that China would try to cut itself some slack by seeking to take advantage of RCEP to the detriment of others. If India were in, it might LETTERS help balance the equation.
